Well, talked to all parties mentioned here... Turns out the pump stator is currently WITH the shaft and converter so we're good there... Lavon referred me to call Paul at the shop to get me set up with a new stator, Paul said he thought it was with the shaft and converter and turns out he was right. Easily could have just pulled one over on me since I was unaware.
After that was cleared up I gave Phil a call at DPC to see how much he would charge me to refresh the converter I had purchased. He told me he would do it free of charge since I am currently over here in the sand. I tried to tell him that's not fair and I have to pay something, he wasn't having any of it. It truly amazes me the willingness of all parties involved to get people taken care of. We constantly see crappy people and events in this world because that's what's publicized, but we are truly blessed to have such good people in our sport. I owe FP and DPC drinks at the next venue I see y'all at. I will hopefully be in attendance at Rudys Fall Truck Jam, if you all are there it would be an honor for me.
